This week the United Nations will negotiate a global treaty on #PlasticPollution. DSE's findings in @science.org revealed that by 2050, key policies could: ♻️ Reduce mismanaged plastic waste by up to 91% 🌞 Cut associated greenhouse gasses by 1/3 dse.berkeley.edu/programs/end... #EndPlasticPollution

Check out this fantastic blog post giving an overview of a truly inspirational panel! Thank you: @fernandoperez.org @choldgraf.com @bsipocz.bsky.social @cieramartinez.bsky.social & Sean Morris! @scientific-python.org @jupyter.org

So exciting to have McKalee join our team this year. Her expertise on data science, and Indigenous Data Sovereignty (IDS) has been instrumental for our work. If you work in IDS - especially Indigenous environmental stewardship and biodiversity monitoring - please reach out!

The DSE effort is a highlight of my career. We bring the best of university-based scholarship, real engagement with stakeholders, and a commitment to impact through open science practices, to have impact in multiple ways. Huge thanks to our funders, supporters, and team (who do all the work!)

Open Science and Open Source only with Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility. Inclusion is essential to science, and science is only worthwhile if it lifts everyone up together. ropensci.org/blog/2025/02... #OpenSource #OpenScience

🌱 Introducing: GeoJupyter 🌱 GeoJupyter is a community-owned effort to reimagine #geospatial interactive computing experiences for education, research, and industry! Get to know GeoJupyter's vision & forthcoming #OpenSource tools ➡️ geojupyter.org/blog/2025010... @quantstack.bsky.social #GIS

For past 2 years I have been working at the intersection of biodiversity monitoring & Indigenous data sovereignty. Last month Magali de Bruyn on my team at DSE (@schmidtdse.bsky.social) attended COP16 & we organized a sessions related to this work. Learn more about this trip and our work here:
